Appeals court revives billion dollar lawsuit against YouTube by Viacom
http://j.mp/Hpm9iS (New York Times)
"A U.S. appeals court has revived lawsuits by Viacom Inc, the English
Premier League, and various film studios and television networks
accusing Google Inc of allowing copyrighted videos on its YouTube
service without permission."
- - -
One irony here is that Viacom was apparently actively posting its own
copyrighted videos on YouTube under fake identities -- to try garner
"viral" publicity for those videos -- during the period in question.
